I wake up too late today( it was 2:00P.M.)......maybe tired in a airplane. Today I went to bike shop, bought some equipments and tested riding with 4 panniers with my friend, Ben. These worked very good.
Well,tonight I packed equipments and prepared for starting biking since tomorrow. I visited "Pleasure point", famous beach for surfing in Santa Curz. When I dipped my hands in the sea, it was cold. I saw many seaweeds here.

Tonight I was invited dinner with Ben and Ben's father at English Arms, good restaurant in Santa Cruz. I enjoyed so much and felt happy.
Got ready for riding!
I will promote many attractive bamboo products in Japan and meet and interview about bamboo with as many people as possible and want to get many experiences in this trip in US.
And today I studied that there were two different thoughts among contribution to developing country, 2 famous gentlemen , one is Jeffrey Sachs, another is William Easterly. I will have to study their thoughts and activities. Hi, bamboo bike, are you ready?!
